Yang Bao squinted slightly, looking at the Mongolian cavalry that was getting closer and closer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it was not the first time that the Ming army had fought with the cowardly Xue army, it was the Zhen Navy, and now the two Huai armies expanded by the Zhen Navy and the Zhen Navy were both in Youyan, and it was the first time that the Divine Guard Army under Yang Bao was facing such a powerful enemy head-on.

But Yang Bao couldn't find a trace of fear in his eyes, he crawled from the battlefield when he was young, and later followed Ye Yingwu to fight in the south and the north, Yang Bao has experienced the most embarrassing and beautiful time in his life, especially now as a general of the Divine Guard, in charge of tens of thousands of troops, and he has gone to a position that he couldn't think of before, he has seen more life and death, more success or failure, and even Yang Bao's heart has sunk, what Mongolian Tartar "strong army in the world", Lao Tzu doesn't believe that these kings and calves can be steel and iron, Invulnerable immortals!

Standing beside Yang Bao, the Divine Guard Supervisor Bian Juyi was also solemn, silently looking at the enemy who was getting closer and closer, among the several main armies of the Ming Dynasty, the Divine Guard Army responsible for guarding the periphery of Nanjing City should be the most low-key one, and Yang Bao and Bian Juyi were already the most low-key generals and supervisors of the Ming Dynasty, but no one would forget that these two people were definitely from Long Yuanrong, and Ye Yingwu was able to let them lead the army to protect the core of the Ming Dynasty, definitely not just because the two were loyal.

"The cowardly Xue army of the Mongolian Tartars, although there are not many of them, and there were many losses when they crossed the river just now, but they were assembled so quickly, and they were able to quickly find our weaknesses, they do have some skills, and they are worthy of being the elite team of the Mongolian Tartars." Bian Juyi looked at the Mongolian cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The Mongolian cavalry did not attack the camp as they had imagined, but aimed their spearhead at the place where the middle of the trench and the camp meet, the trench here is relatively shallow, not to mention, but also to the back of the front trench, as long as the Mongols occupy this place, the Ming soldiers behind the river beach will be attacked from both sides, and even if the Mongolian cavalry only releases arrows in the back, it is enough to make the Ming army on the river beach panic, after all, it is impossible not to be afraid of the arrows flying from behind.

In this way, the Ming army, which was originally waiting in the camp, had no use, and Yang Bao also took the opportunity to drive the army out of the camp and deploy along the line of the trench, and the Mongol Tartars wanted to attack the flank of the trench, so they had to step on the corpses of the Shenwei Army and the soldiers of the Zhendong Army next to them.

For these barbarians of the Zhendong Army, the arrogant Divine Guard Army actually didn't have much expectations, so in their opinion, this was a bloody battle between the Divine Guard Army and the cowardly Xue Army of the Mongol Tartars!

Hearing Bian Juyi's emotion, Yang Bao couldn't help but look at him slightly, and then sneered: "Elite? Our Divine Guards, fighting are elite! ”

Arrogant, domineering, and even with a kind of arrogance, Yang Bao stood there, his eyes were blazing, and he couldn't see that he was still a veteran waiting to die just a few years ago, but like an iron-blooded man tempered by countless blood and fire.

The surrounding soldiers of the Divine Guard Army all straightened their waists, and the slightest worry in their hearts before also disappeared in Yang Bao's sneer. The Divine Guard Army is the main force to protect His Majesty's safety, in other words, the entire Ming Dynasty's Chinese army, and the Divine Guard Army was indeed adapted from the middle army and the rear of the Tianwu Army. The army in the army is the elite of the enemy!

Bian Juyi suddenly laughed: "Okay! The Mongolian Tartars are coming, let's let them see and see, and the Divine Guards are not eating dry food! ”

The Mongol cavalry came quickly, and the dust rolled under the horse's hooves rushed towards the nine skies with the howling wind, and if you stood on a high place and looked at it, it seemed as if a wild dragon was roaring and roaring towards its enemies, and anyone who wanted to stop in front of it would be torn to pieces by this wild dragon. The cowardly Xue army has been able to crisscross the grassland for decades, and it is worthy of its reputation.

"Boom!" The cannonballs slammed into the smoke and dust, making a violent explosion, and more shells and packets of explosives whizzed in, constantly exploding in the smoke and dust stirred up by the cavalry. Seeing this situation, the faces of the soldiers of the Ming army suddenly showed smiles, and no matter how powerful the enemy was, they could only disappear in front of the artillery and flying thunder artillery.

However, Yang Bao and Bian Juyi frowned, because their intuition from years of fighting on the battlefield told them that things were far from so simple. Sure enough, as the sound of the cannon stopped, a very loud horse roar came from the smoke and dust, and then a Mongolian cavalryman jumped out of the smoke and dust, and he didn't know when he had opened his bow and arrows!

"Shoot the arrows!" Yang Bao's pupils contracted suddenly, and the Ming army's crossbowmen and firecrackers who had been waiting for a long time cast them at the same time, but the Ming army's actions were still a step late after all, and most of the arrows and iron bullets were cast in a panic, and they were not really aimed at the enemy, and those Mongolian cavalry who rushed out of the smoke and dust one after another quickly released the bowstring after finding the target as quickly as possible.

There were constantly Ming army soldiers screaming and falling, and Yang Bao and Bian Juyi's faces also showed solemnity.

The tactics of the Mongol Tatars are actually understandable, and the easiest way to deal with shells and explosives packs, which are weapons that belong to a wide range of damage, is actually to expand their range to be larger than these weapons, especially in this era when gunpowder is mainly black powder, it is not difficult to do this, especially for cavalry, or elite cavalry like the cowardly Xue army.

As long as the cavalry is able to completely disperse the shells and explosives packs by the time they hit the ground, the shells and explosives packs will not hurt them too much. It is absolutely not cost-effective to kill a person with a single shell or a bag of explosives. Moreover, the Mongolian cavalry also successfully used the smoke and dust from the shells and explosives packs to completely hide the change of their formation, and when they rushed out of the smoke and dust, they had already opened their bows and arrows, as long as they were aimed at the Ming army, they could release their arrows.

Even the most stubborn enemy will fall behind in the face of such a seamless coordination.

This is also what makes Yang Bao and Bian Juyi really worried, the cowardly Xue army is the cowardly Xue army after all, this Mongolian strong army has suffered losses under the flying thunder gunners of the town navy, and the ordinary Mongolian army thinks about how to avoid face to face with the new firearms of the Ming army and how to minimize casualties and hold the line of defense, the cowardly Xue army is studying how to still charge the enemy under such a new firearm, and still be able to defeat the enemy with lightning speed!

Yang Bao squinted his eyes, cowardly Xue Jun, worthy of his reputation, no wonder he was able to fight with the town navy with Zhang Shijie and now Wang Huchen and Wang Dayong, two fierce generals, and even caused heavy casualties to the town navy under the huge advantage of the town navy in possessing firearms.

Yang Bao likes such an opponent!

However, they thought that in this way they could defeat the Divine Guard, so they couldn't help but think about things too simply. The Divine Guard, the Divine Guard, since it can be crowned with the word "Guard", what they are good at is self-evident. With the gradual rout of the Mongol army and the retreat to the north, the generals of the Ming army had more opportunities to get in touch with the offensive examples of the Ming army, which was of great benefit to the Ming army that inherited the mantle of the Southern Song Dynasty and was good at defense.

But among the major main armies that are advancing vigorously, the Divine Guard Army is definitely an exception, because they don't need to participate in too many battles, and the main task is to defend, hold Nanjing City, and hold the bigger and bigger country of Daming!

So when the rest of the generals gradually shifted the focus of their research to attack, Yang Bao and Bian Juyi studied how to defend, so if you want to find a general who is good at attacking among the main armies of the Ming Dynasty, you can find a lot, but if you want to find a general who is good at defense, in addition to old generals such as Gundam and Ma Yan, then I am afraid it will be Yang Bao's turn.

The hardest shield of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the sharpest sword of Mongolia, how can you be afraid!

Because the Divine Guard Army originally used the Cowardly Xue Army as an imaginary enemy, being able to block the attack of the Cowardly Xue Army was the biggest purpose of the formation and development of the Divine Guard Army to this day, and it was also an important reason why Ye Yingwu took the Divine Guard Army north.

Looking at the cowardly Xue army cavalry that was getting closer and closer, Yang Bao Huoran drew his saber, and the shield bearers lined up on the side of the trench took a step back at the same time, and at the same time, the shields were suddenly separated, and the heavily armored soldiers who were originally behind them walked out of the military formation with heavy steps, and the big axes in their hands were raised at the same time.

And looking at the enemy in front of them, the cavalry of the cowardly Xue army did not hesitate at all, and the cavalry team of the black pressure suddenly separated from the middle and outflanked both sides, and the bow and crossbow in their hands had been put down, and a snow-bright saber was shown without fear.

"Shoot the arrows!" Yang Bao smiled hideously, before the words fell, the Ming army's crossbowmen had already pulled the trigger, and a large number of arrows roared like rain, rushing towards the cowardly Xue army cavalry on both wings.

Among the many tactics that the Mongolian cavalry relies on across Europe and Asia, the cavalry flanks are the most important one, with this tactic, the Mongolian cavalry can quickly outflank the two wings, avoid direct confrontation with the enemy's main force, and at the same time can cut into the enemy's flanks like a sharp blade, so that the opponent's formation is disrupted, the main army that was originally facing the front is not to mention the enemy's back, and it will be difficult to get out of the encirclement, Genghis Khan has relied on this tactic many times to conquer the Western Regions, in the face of the small countries in the Western Regions that are not strong in organization and cohesion, Such a tactic is naturally tried and tested.

However, since the Divine Guard Army had already expected that one day they would join the Cowardly Xue Army to fight, they naturally made some preparations on this, and when the Cowardly Xue Army wanted to divide their troops on both sides, they were greeted only by a dense rain of arrows. The cavalry of the cowardly Xue army turned their horses' heads in desperation, and finally they were not overwhelmed by the whistling arrows, obviously at this time they understood why the Ming army was mainly using firearms to fight back just now, and few crossbowmen shot arrows, it turned out to be waiting for this time.

These arrows were not intended to kill or injure the enemy, but to drive away the cowardly Xue army and the Divine Guard army from fighting head-on.

A cowardly Xue army cavalry rushed to the trench quickly, for these proud sons of the sky, the golden eagles on the grassland, since these southern barbarians have blocked the roads on both sides, then simply meet the real chapter with them under their hands, let them also understand that even if it is a head-to-head battle, the cowardly Xue army has never lost!

"Reject the pistol!" Bian Juyi shouted loudly, and immediately glanced at Yang Bao, Yang Bao nodded, and rode his horse directly to the side, the length of this section of the trench was not short, and at that time, in order to facilitate traffic, there were multiple entrances on this section of the trench, and it was far less deep than the rest of the trenches, even if the foot soldiers rushed over, the Ming army could not take much advantage of the condescending, so just in case, Yang Bao and Bian Juyi were naturally separated from each other in half of the place.

One by one, the horse rejecting pistols were erected, and even a few Saimen knife carts were also pushed forward to deal with the cowardly Xue Jun, Yang Bao and Bian Juyi did not dare to be careless. This army has been the elite of the Mongols for decades, and it must have its strength, and this strength was also shown by the cowardly Xue army just now, which has to be admired.

For cavalry, its strength is actually mainly manifested in two aspects, assault and strain, because this is the biggest advantage that the speed of war horses can bring to them, the general cavalry troops are actually difficult to adapt to the battlefield situation, and play their role to the extreme, and the normal commander attaches more importance to the cavalry's assault ability, but Yang Bao is very clear that the cowardly Xue army can even be said to be all the Mongolian cavalry, the best thing is to adapt, and constantly make adjustments according to the battlefield situation, This allows the tide of battle to favor the side as much as possible, but even among the Mongol cavalry, there are very few who can do this.

And the adaptability shown by the cowardly Xue army just now has proved that they are a small part of the few, and it was this truth that was understood at the beginning, so Yang Bao and Bian Juyi did not hesitate to take out all the Saimen knife carts in the camp, and what they did was naturally to be able to plug all the possible flaws of the Ming army as much as possible, and resolutely not give the cowardly Xue army a chance.

Rao is so prepared, the arrow when the cowardly Xue army rushed out of the smoke and dust just now still almost made the Divine Guard Army mess up, but fortunately, the Divine Guard Army has been trained for a long time, and the generals at all levels reacted quickly, so it did not cause any danger.

The Mongol cavalry roared and crossed the trench, and the horse's hooves stomped heavily on the ground, and the men and horses had already risen into the air. Compared with those ravines and streams on the grassland, this little trench is not in the eyes of the Mongolian cavalry, but soon they secretly screamed badly, and a bright light rose and shone in front of them, and the heavily armored soldier standing on the edge of the trench waved the giant axe in his hand fiercely, and the axe fell down against the war horse!

Blood gushed out, the front war horse had been cut off by force, and the cavalry sitting on horseback did not have time to exclaim, along with their own war horses fell heavily into the trench, or fell at the feet of the heavily armored soldiers, the trenches had already been sprinkled with thistles, these soldiers fell down, let out a scream, and those who fell on the side of the heavy armor soldiers were even more miserable, the heavy armor soldiers were like moving iron towers, and they didn't even look at the enemies around them, so they stepped on it heavily, and the iron combat boots stepped on people, as long as the place that was stepped on turned into a puddle of flesh and blood in an instant. There were constantly Mongolian soldiers who watched in panic as shadows hung over their heads, and some even stepped on their heads directly, and red blood and white brains sprayed on the armor of the heavily armored soldiers, dyeing their silver armor a terrifying bright red.

A few arrows roared and smashed heavily on the armor, even if this was inherited from the Southern Song Dynasty, it was tried and tested against the Jurchens and Mongol cavalry, and the heavy armor that had been transformed by the Ministry of Industry many times, but also appeared with the arrows and potholes, so that the generals of the Ming army under the command had to sigh, this cowardly Xue army guy is really more than one grade higher than the rest of the Mongolian army!

More cowardly cavalry roared and kept crossing the trench, and the slightly thin heavy armor soldiers standing on the edge of the trench had no way to stop so many cavalry from advancing, and even some of the cavalry were able to rush up to kill because the war horse fell into the pit first, so they were able to rush up and kill, and these cavalrymen who lost their horses did not hesitate at all, and still roared with their sabers to kill.

In the face of the cavalry jumping above and the soldiers who climbed up in the trenches below, even if the heavy armored soldiers have the ability to reach the sky, they are not able to do it at this time, the biggest weakness of the heavy armored soldiers is that the armor at the neck is relatively fragile, and the heavy armored soldiers of the Jurchens against the Song people at that time often choose short soldiers to bully them, even if these cowardly Xue cavalry are not good at close combat, but in the face of the heavy armored soldiers who are dual-purpose and take care of everywhere, it is still a great threat.

"The crossbowman releases his arrows and rejects the rifle forward!" Bian Juyi and Yang Bao ordered in unison.
